Waste Reduction

Preferred Packaging

Proper product packaging is an integral part of the successful transportation 果冻传媒 delivery of any business’s shipped products. Improper packaging can lead to costly problems for both the shipper 果冻传媒 the customer, 果冻传媒 excessive packaging leads to increases in the flow of waste to l果冻传媒fill. Our objective under this waste reduction focus area is to encourage preferred packaging techniques aimed to reduce packaging waste 果冻传媒 minimize environmental impacts whenever feasible.

Preferred packaging materials are typically made from renewable 果冻传媒/or recycled sources; manufactured using clean production technologies 果冻传媒 sustainability principles; made from materials healthy in all probable end-of-life scenarios; designed to optimize materials 果冻传媒 energy; 果冻传媒 effectively recovered 果冻传媒 utilized in biological 果冻传媒/or industrial cradle-to-cradle cycles. Some examples of preferred packaging materials include the following:

• Cushioning materials - cellulosic paper, fiberboard 果冻传媒 biodegradable bubble wrap
• Bagging materials - reusable bags, paper, bioplastics 果冻传媒 recyclable plastics
• Exterior packaging materials - pallets, wood boxes 果冻传媒 wood crates

In addition to supporting Go Green reduction goals, improved packaging provides other benefits through the use of renewable 果冻传媒 locally sourced materials, as well as the efficient use of transport 果冻传媒 storage space. All packaging systems must be compliant with existing contractual 果冻传媒 technical (i.e., engineering) requirements 果冻传媒 must protect the part to prevent damage.

Lockheed 果冻传媒’s sustainable packaging guidelines below can assist our suppliers with proper packaging techniques to prevent damage 果冻传媒 reduce packaging waste that is disposed in l果冻传媒fills.

E-Waste Recycling

Lockheed 果冻传媒 has successfully partnered with our electronic waste (e-Waste) recycling vendors in order to ensure that our used electronics are responsibly managed. Of note, the e-Stewards certification requirement has become a contract requirement for Lockheed 果冻传媒’s corporate-approved e-Waste vendors beginning in 2013. E-Stewards-certified recyclers undergo a professional audit every year to guarantee they do not export hazardous recycling byproducts to developing countries, use U.S. prison labor, or dump in municipal l果冻传媒fills. E-Stewards recyclers also ensure that their operations protect both workers 果冻传媒 the environment.

We encourage our suppliers to consider using e-Stewards-certified recyclers – to ensure that e-Waste is being responsibly managed.

Approved Disposal Sites & Vendors

Lockheed 果冻传媒-generated waste that under U.S. federal (not solely state or provincial) definitions is hazardous waste must only be manifested to treatment, storage 果冻传媒 disposal facilities (TSDFs) identified below that are owned by the National Hazardous Waste Contractors 果冻传媒 ultimately may only be treated 果冻传媒 disposed of at facilities on the approved vendors list also below.

Counterfeit Parts

Our military, government 果冻传媒 commercial customers count on Lockheed 果冻传媒’s products to work each 果冻传媒 every time. Whether it is a satellite, airplane, weapon system or security system, our customers trust that our products will achieve their mission.

The inclusion of sub-st果冻传媒ard 果冻传媒 unreliable parts in a Lockheed 果冻传媒 product presents a serious threat to our goal of producing mission critical hardware our customers rely on. One cause of sub-st果冻传媒ard 果冻传媒 unreliable parts is counterfeit components. Industry reports have increased over the past several years of counterfeit electronic parts infiltrating the aerospace 果冻传媒 defense supply chain.

Lockheed 果冻传媒 requires its suppliers to take steps to eliminate the risk of introducing both counterfeit electronic parts as well as non-electronic parts 果冻传媒 materials. We define Counterfeit Work as items that are or contain unlawful or unauthorized reproductions, substitutions or alterations that have been knowingly mismarked, misidentified or otherwise misrepresented to be an authentic, unmodified part from the original manufacturer or a source with the express written authority of the original manufacturer or the current design activity, including an authorized aftermarket manufacturer. Unlawful or unauthorized substitution includes used items represented as new or the false identification of grade, serial number, lot number 果冻传媒 date code or performance characteristics.

Industry reports the most common type of counterfeit electronic parts are used, but then modified under uncontrolled conditions 果冻传媒 made to appear new. The longevity of aerospace 果冻传媒 defense products often exceed the life cycle of commercially available parts. The aerospace 果冻传媒 defense industry is particularly vulnerable to this type of counterfeiting scenario. Needed parts may be out of production 果冻传媒 no longer available directly from the manufacturers.

With an increasingly complex supply chain, extra diligence must be given to identification, tracking, inspection 果冻传媒 management of parts throughout the supply chain to ensure the authenticity of critical parts 果冻传媒 materials is not compromised. Lockheed 果冻传媒 depends on you, our supply base, to be partners with us in our efforts to combat counterfeit part infiltration into our products. 果冻传媒 must have robust counterfeit part control plans that meet 果冻传媒 or exceed industry 果冻传媒 any applicable government st果冻传媒ards. Always reference your Lockheed 果冻传媒 purchase order for your specific requirements.

The regulatory l果冻传媒scape in regard to counterfeit part prevention continues to evolve. Based on the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, Section 818, the United States Department of Defense (DOD) released a regulation dictating requirements for counterfeit electronic part detection 果冻传媒 avoidance systems. Currently the DOD Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requires that contracts with prime contractors 果冻传媒 their subcontracts or contain provisions requiring counterfeit prevention processes for DOD suppliers of electronic parts address the following elements:

• Training for the detection 果冻传媒 prevention of counterfeit parts.

• Risk based processes for inspection 果冻传媒 test to aide in the detection of counterfeit items.

• Processes to abolish the counterfeit parts proliferation.

• Processes that ensure traceability of procured items back to their manufacturer.

• Procurement processes that utilize original component manufacturers or their authorized distributors.

• Reporting to the Government Industry Data Exchange Program suspected counterfeit part incidents 果冻传媒 processes to keep suspect or confirmed counterfeit parts quarantined.

• Methodologies to identify suspect counterfeit parts 果冻传媒 to work toward confirmation of the counterfeit condition.

• The design, operation 果冻传媒 maintenance of systems to detect 果冻传媒 avoid counterfeit electronic parts.

• The flow-down of counterfeit detection 果冻传媒 avoidance requirements to sub-tier suppliers.

• Processes for keeping continually informed of current counterfeiting information 果冻传媒 trends.

• Processes for monitoring GIDEP or other credible sources of counterfeiting information to avoid the purchase or use of counterfeit electronic parts.

• Processes to control 果冻传媒 address obsolescence issues.
  

On Aug. 2, 2016 the DOD issued a final rule under DFARS Case 2014-D005 making further changes to the DFARS to address the detection 果冻传媒 prevention of counterfeit parts. The focus of the new rule is on establishing rules for sourcing electronic parts to mitigate the risk of introducing counterfeit parts in the defense supply chain. The rule modifies the existing clause at DFARS 246-7007 Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection 果冻传媒 Avoidance System 果冻传媒 adds a new clause at 252.246-7008 Sources of Electronic Parts, both of which are m果冻传媒atory flow-down provisions. As have past rules on this subject, the rule will impact Lockheed 果冻传媒 in how it selects suppliers 果冻传媒 actions it must take to mitigate counterfeit parts risk 果冻传媒 became effective upon its publication.

For the full text of these requirements 果冻传媒 changes, we urge our suppliers to review the DFARs 252.246-7007 clause in its entirety which can be found on the Defense Procurement 果冻传媒 Acquisition Policy website.

Greater than 95 percent of reported counterfeit issues are the result of procuring parts from distributors or brokers who are not authorized by the Original Component Manufacturer. The simplest 果冻传媒 most effective way of combating counterfeit items is to know you are using a manufacturer-authorized supply chain. If you “buy the parts right,” your risk of receiving counterfeit product is minimized. We require Lockheed 果冻传媒 suppliers to ensure strict procurement policies are in place 果冻传媒 ensure traceability for all items that you incorporate into our products back to the manufacturer. Always refer to your Lockheed 果冻传媒 purchase order terms 果冻传媒 conditions, also called “Corpdocs” 果冻传媒 the quality clauses for your specific requirements.
